• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Hi everyone!

Anyone up for a craft meet this Wednesday?
-> 4.30pm Singapore, 7.30pm Sydney, 8.30am UK

We've got a craft exercise from Ursula le Guin about Being Gorgeous. Of course we're all gorgeous already, but lets put it down on paper 🥳

@RK Wallis
@wrightstuff
@LJ Beck

Anyone else who wants to join let me know, and I'll send you the exercise.

Since this exercise is all about sound, I thought it appropriate to write about music. It's related to a non-fiction proposal I'm (maybe) considering submitting. I'll explain more tomorrow, but here's a link if anyone else likes writing about albums.

See you tomorrow :)

Hi! I'm trying to get in. I clicked on the link, which is an email address, but I copied just the zoom link from that, and now it's asking for a passcode?

Maybe if you can, copy just the invite address (don't worry about linking it) and a passcode here? Thanks!

Got all my reading done. :)
